Public Service Announcement

No matter how small you believe a situation to be, if it has a visceral affect on you its not as small as you think. Hit the pause button on whatever you are doing, and figure out a way to begin processing. Sometimes, just because something didn't happen directly to us, doesn't mean it still didn't or doesn't affect us, this is merely vicarious trauma. Sometimes, the things we experience are just small pebbles hitting the water, causing a reaction for dormant issues we never resolved or believed we resolved. It is better to process as long as you need to then to let it fester and overwork your body and mind avoiding the issue.
